Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Matthews is a Senior Software Engineer based in Sydney with eight years of experience building and leading product-focused engineering teams across startups and consultancy work. He blends hands-on full-stack development (TypeScript, Go, Rust, Node.js, React/Angular) with cloud-native ops (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker) and a proven eye for cost and scalability optimisations. As Head of Engineering and founder/CTO, he has shipped prototypes to production, designed multi-tenant architectures, OAuth2 identity services, and automated CI/CD pipelines that accelerate experimentation. He’s comfortable both mentoring teams and diving into low-level engineering — from RBAC servers to machine-learning microservices for radio astronomy. An investor and voracious reader, he brings entrepreneurial judgment to technical decisions and a track record of cutting AWS spend by over 70% while improving developer velocity.
